The Straw Critic is the bane of all living writers, performers, and other artists everywhere. He comes in two forms, both of which live to Accentuate the Negative: 1. * The guy who only likes True Art, which is, of course, angsty, foreign, incomprehensible, daring]], political, and created by someone who is long since dead. He thinks less of you for liking whatever it is that you do like, and firmly believes that Viewers are Morons. After all, if viewers weren't morons, they obviously wouldn't be watching Lowest Common Denominator crap! 2. * The guy who is incapable of understanding True Art, and judges it harshly based on its stubborn failure to hold to any conventional formal scheme.
